在下非计算机专业,生物技术背景,在生物公司里有几年研发经验,估计公司情况不妙,年底说不定得关门,想转行到数据库方面的工作,这样现实吗?
-- Yes, it is doable.
-- Many of us transfered from other filed to database. We did it, you can do the same.
曾经选修过 一些MySQL的课程,在社区学院里拿过一个证书 (database developer),
-- This kind of class is better than nothing.
-- However, it is almost wate your money if your expectation is high for this class.
但没有直接数据库的工作经验,请问怎样才能入行找到第一份数据库方面的工作呢?或者怎样才能找到entry level 的工作呢?有没有必要再修一些编程或计算机方面的其他课程?计算机类哪个方向容易找到entry level的工作,以进入这一行?
-- With a PC or laptop in home, it is possible to gain experience.
-- After gain experience, update resume, looking for a job.
-- Since you already have good degree and work experience, you can enlarge the experience you alrady have to find a database job;
-- Therefore, it is NOT necessarily looking for entry level job;
-- Database work is just a simple skill, as long as you know the skill, you should find jobs better than entry level.
-- You do not need wate more money to take othe CS degree or class in college, they are totally waste time;
-- The best way to pick up database skill and gain experience is learn from a experience people who is willing to help you and do practice by your self.
-- Many people successfully did that and found good jobs, you can do the same.
Thanks!
